This afternoon I went to a beer garden with Boris. It is an outdoor area with picnic tables on the river with trees and shade everywhere. They serve beer and pizza and it's very large and pretty busy. I had a beer that is mixed with sprite which actually tasted good! I really dislike beer and finding one in Germany that I could tolerate is a bit of a shocker. I also took a mini-tour of Berlin with Boris. I think we are going to take another one tomorrow. Today we saw a bombed out church in the middle of the city shopping area that serves as a memorial of WWII. The jewelled angels had very austere facial expressions... Boris and I decided it must have been a Catholic church (hee hee)!
I met some senior psychologists this morning. It was interesting and I really enjoyed it. I could really identify with what my assigned senior scholar was saying and it was insightful. I also saw another big name researcher give a talk and it was awfully boring. I nearly fell asleep, which is not good when you are in the front of the room in front of the speaker ;-) Some people should stick to writing, not speaking.
In 20 minutes I'm going to dinner with the other YSP members. Some of them I really like, some are standoffish and seem very exclusionary with others. Oh well, I'll just stick with the good ones cuz the inclusive ones tend to be and have the most fun!
